Both of our counties are under a Winter Weather Advisory until noon today. Isolated snowfall amounts of one inch are possible in some isolated areas, but most places will be around half an inch.
We shouldn’t see any major travel impacts, but any snow that falls will stick, so take it easy on the roads and give yourself some extra time today. Snow should end around noon, and we may see temps briefly get above freezing, which will help with melting.
Merry Christmas!
We’ll take waking up to temperatures in the upper teens, certainly feels like Christmas! Winds have died down, so wind chill isn’t much of a factor, but it’s still cold. Certainly not the 76° we had last year…but at least it’s not also a high of 15° like in 1983.
As of 8:30am, BNA is reporting double digits temps (10°) for the first time in ~32 hours. Temps will rise to the low 20’s, along with some sun, will hopefully help some road conditions improve, but several roads will still be hazardous, continue to take it easy. The “warmer” temps should also help to relieve some stress on the power grid.
Well, it snowed. Which has left some roads a mess, if you have to go out today, take it nice and easy. Also, the kiddos are probably going to want to play in the snow, however, this is not ideal playing-in-the-snow weather. In fact, it may be tongue stuck to flagpole cold. I wouldn’t try and see for yourself though.
3:30PM Update:
This afternoon, Davidson Co. was upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning. Snowfall totals of 1-2″ are expected, with a few pockets of 3-4″ possible. Impacts remain the same as mentioned below in the rest of the blog.
5PM Update:
NWS Nashville issued a Winter Weather Advisory for both of our counties from 6pm Thursday – 6am Friday.
They also extended our Wind Chill Warning, now starting at 10pm Thursday thru noon Friday, accounting for the expected earlier arrival of the cold front.
Today, Wednesday, and the majority of Thursday will be not too bad as high temps try to reach 50°. If you have something to do outside, I’d probably get it done now.
Thursday it should start raining sometime midday/afternoon. Then the arctic air arrives around 9p, give or take a few hours. Temperatures will plummet into the single digits overnight. High temperatures will struggle to make it into the teens on Friday, while wind chill values will not make it above zero throughout the day Friday and into midday Christmas Eve. A Wind Chill Advisory was issued for wind chill values of ten-fifteen degrees below zero, due to guests as high as 35-40mph. Temperatures will stay below freezing for “`~84 hours Thursday night into midday Monday. Anyone planning on going to the Titans game X-mas Eve needs to plan to really bundle up, as feel like temperatures will be in the single digits the entire game.
Especially if you are heading out of town, but even if you aren’t, the time to prepare is now.
Today through the majority of Thursday will be “nice” as temps reach the upper 40’s, maybe even low 50’s. Dry. Not too shabby.
Thursday night, temperatures are expected to plummet into the single digits/low teens. Temperatures will likely stay below freezing until midday Monday. This will leave us with dangerous conditions. It’s time to start preparing now, especially if you are heading out of town.
The days leading up to Thursday won’t be the best, but compared to the end of the week, it’ll feel like summer. High temps will actually slowly climb to the upper 40’s by Tuesday, with lows touching the freezing mark most nights.
The days leading up to Thursday and Friday won’t be the nicest temperature wise, but compared to what the temperatures will be, you’ll be wishing we were in the 40’s…
Friday’s temps…yikes. Temps like that will linger around through Christmas weekend.
